Joe Torre Launches 'Margaret's Place,' a Domestic Violence Intervention and Prevention Program, in Union City, N.J., SchoolLatest Location, First in the State, Is Funded Through a $325,000 Grant From the Verizon Foundation

UNION CITY, N.J., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation and Verizon today announced the opening of the first Margaret's Place in New Jersey at the Jose Marti Middle School here. Margaret's Place is a comprehensive program that provides students with a "safe room" in school where they can meet with a professional trained in domestic violence intervention and prevention.

Torre and former Yankee great Bernie Williams addressed more than 500 students at Jose Marti during a program to kick off the expansion. The Margaret's Place at the school is funded through a $325,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation.

"I am very proud to help bring Margaret's Place to New Jersey," said Torre, manager of the Yankees and founder and chairman of the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation. "We need to do all we can to raise funds and awareness to help end this vicious cycle. I especially want to thank the Verizon Foundation for their support in this initiative. We hope that other corporations follow in their lead."

Torre grew up in a violent household; his father abused his mother. Torre and his wife, Ali, founded the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation in 2002.

Margaret's Place -- named for Torre's mother, Margaret -- is staffed by a full-time counselor or social worker who provides individual and group counseling; prevention workshops; peer leadership programs; and staff, parent/family and community workshops on youth violence and intervention strategies for the school, home and community. Margaret's Place uses an anti- violence curriculum developed by Safe Horizon, the nation's leading victims' assistance organization.

The Union City location is the Safe At Home Foundation's 10th Margaret's Place and the first outside of New York. The foundation hopes to open additional rooms in New Jersey schools in the near future.

"Domestic violence is an issue that affects far too many Americans," said Dennis Bone, president of Verizon New Jersey. "Education and outreach are integral parts of breaking the cycle of violence, and we're proud to partner with Joe Torre's organization to bring this tremendous resource to the students of Jose Marti."

The Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon Communications, is committed to improving literacy and K-12 education; fostering awareness and prevention of domestic violence; and promoting the use of technology in health-care delivery. In 2006, the foundation awarded more than $69 million in grants to nonprofit agencies in the United States and abroad. The foundation also matched charitable donations from Verizon employees and retirees, resulting in $29 million in combined contributions. Under the foundation's Verizon Volunteer initiative, one of the nation's largest employee-volunteer programs, company employees and retirees have also contributed nearly 3 million hours of community service since Verizon's inception in 2000.

For more information on the foundation, visit http://www.verizon.com/foundation.

About The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation

Joe Torre's personal commitment to the issue of domestic violence stems from the fear he lived with growing up as a child in Brooklyn. Spurred by the abuse he witnessed and endured, Torre and his wife, Ali, have created the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation -- in memory of Joe's mother, Margaret. The Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that all children have an opportunity to grow up in a safe and abuse-free environment. Its goal is to raise awareness and educate in order to end the cycle of domestic violence. For additional information on the Foundation, please visit http://www.joetorre.org/.

Maxwell Technologies Wins $3 Million Contract From Astrium Satellites to Supply Computers for European Space Agency's 'Gaia' Astronomy MissionMaxwell SCS750 Single Board Computers Will Process Data and Images Gathered by Satellite's Video Processing Units During Five-Year Mission to Study the Origin and Evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxwell Technologies Inc. has won a contract valued at approximately $3 million from Astrium's United Kingdom-based satellite unit to supply single board computers (SBC) for the European Space Agency's (ESA) "Gaia" astronomy mission to survey more than a billion stars and other celestial bodies to trace the origin and evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Seven Maxwell SCS750 SBCs will process images and data gathered by the two-ton satellite's camera, which will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the duration of the five-year mission named for the Greek goddess Gaia, who was worshipped as the mythological creator of the universe. The massive volume of data to be collected and the precision of the imaging instrumentation will enable scientists to create a three-dimensional map of the galaxy and study its formation with unprecedented detail and accuracy.

The satellite will be launched into an orbit at Lagrange point 2, which is 1.5 million kilometers (932,000 miles) into space on the "night side" of Earth so that it will be shielded from glare from the Earth, Sun and Moon that otherwise would interfere with image and data collection. Its payload will include two telescopes and a camera capable of processing digital images from more than one hundred charge-coupled devices (CCDs) of 10 million pixels each.

It is the belief of the European Space Agency that the Gaia mission's impact on astronomy will be comparable to that of weather satellites to meteorology or genome mapping projects to genetics. Maxwell's space computer provides the high performance and flexibility the scientific and engineering team will need to achieve the mission's ambitious goals.

Peter Bennie, Project Team Leader of Astrium UK, which is responsible for development and installation of the satellite's video processing units, said, "we selected Maxwell's SCS750 after our exhaustive evaluation of available space-qualified computers determined that it was the only SBC that could meet both our video processing requirements and Gaia's power and mass constraints."

Proprietary component shielding technology and system-level architecture enable Maxwell's SBC to withstand the effects of environmental radiation to provide the most reliable space computer currently available. The SCS750 is based on a "triple modular redundancy" architecture in which three commercial IBM PowerPC 750(TM) processors run the same program at all times and "vote" on each operation. If one of the processors suffers a radiation-induced upset and disagrees with the other two, the system is automatically resynchronised and resumes error-free operation.

Radware Unveils Industry First Behavioral Server Protections as Part of its Full Spectrum Protection TechnologyRadware's Business-Smart Networking Strategy Furthered Through Behavioral-IPS Technology, Safeguarding Servers and Applications Without Human Intervention Features

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware , the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business- smart networking, today announced the availability of DefensePro version 4.0, the latest version of the company's flagship Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). DefensePro 4.0 provides adaptive behavioral server-based IPS feature set, protecting against misuse of application authorization and preventing break-in attempts to enterprise critical application servers, with no need for human intervention. This allows the network to automatically respond to attacks targeted at revenue-generating applications. The new version complements Radware's DefensePro existing signature and behavioral network- based protections and reinforces the company's vision to provide business- smart networking solutions.

"Sophisticated threats and complex technology are driving network security solutions to bridge the gap between the single user host protection and the network-wide resource protection," says Charles Kolodgy, research director, IDC Security Products. "The integration of server protections with signature protections and Behavioral DoS prevention is a comprehensive and effective solution against business interruption and downtime."

While many revenue-generating web sites are equipped with tools to prevent common DoS/DDoS (Denial of Service/Distributed Denial of Service) flood attacks such as SYN floods, hackers are steps ahead. Aware that simple packet- based flood tools are becoming easier to detect and block, hackers are moving to session-based flood tools that imitate real user activity by downloading complete pages from Web sites causing denial-of-service by exhausting web server resources, creating multiple database queries and updates or overloading the links with excessive connections.

DefensePro version 4.0 introduces the Web-Flood Mitigator, extending the behavioral security technology to prevent HTTP page flood attacks that are often generated by malicious tools such as HTTP BOTs and HTTP page flooders. These tools are used by hackers or installed unwittingly on legitimate users' computers, and systematically download web pages from a website attempting to exhaust its resources and create service denial.

"We have been using the HTTP Mitigator for the past three months protecting our web servers" says Jet Dove, Leumi Card IT Security Infrastructure manager. "And we have strong confidence that the new server protections suit improves our web presence. This feature improves the visibility of our web servers' behavior and mitigates in real time attacks aiming to degrade our web service."

"The latest version of Radware's DefensePro unveils our new patent-pending behavioral application-based IPS features that, we believe, will change the 'ground rules' in the entire network IPS market," said Avi Chesla, vice president security products, Radware. "While many IPS solutions focus solely on user attack protections or network resource protection, Radware's DefensePro Full Spectrum Protection Technology is the only solution closing the enterprise security gap by providing also adaptive behavioral server-based protections that prevent the misuse of the service resources. The Server Protections feature set is a "smart" complementary solution to our existing signature-based IPS and Behavioral network-based DoS technology, thus exhibiting clear security advantages that enable wider security coverage."

Availability

DefensePro version 4.0 is available now for customers as a software upgrade for DefensePro models. More information on DefensePro 4.0 is available at http://www.radware.com/defensepro.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. today announced the launch of its 5.4 GHz Canopy Point-to- Multipoint (PMP) and Point-to-Point (PTP) wireless broadband solutions in the United States and Canada. Part of the MOTOwi4(TM) portfolio, the new offerings will provide network operators, enterprises, government, and commercial customers with access to additional spectrum, enabling bandwidth-intensive data, voice and video communications.

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) recently opened the 5.4 GHz radio frequency (RF) for commercial use, making more spectrum available to meet growing demands for bandwidth. The 5.4 GHz spectrum offers 255 MHz of bandwidth, double that available in the 5.8 GHz band. This allows for the co-location of multiple radios on one rooftop or location with minimal interference simplifying overall network design.

"Our network infrastructure currently consists of Canopy Point-to-Multipoint access modules and the Point-to-Point product for backhaul. The introduction of Motorola's 5.4 GHz unlicensed solutions will provide us with additional opportunities to leverage this newly available spectrum," said Brian Magnuson, president, Cascade Networks, Inc. "These products bring more opportunities and greater flexibility as more radios can co-locate on existing infrastructure."

The 5.4 GHz PTP 400 and PTP 600 unlicensed products provide reliable, high-bandwidth and high-speed connectivity to support convergent, multimedia applications such as data transfer, Voice over IP (VoIP), video surveillance and audio downloads. It also provides a powerful backhaul solution for Canopy PMP and mesh networks and PTP links where wired access is not available or is cost-prohibitive.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TiVo Inc. , the creator and a leader in advertising solutions and television services for digital video recorders (DVRs), today announced the formation of the Interactive Direct Response Advertising Group designed to help the DR community better understand the advertising challenges they face in the age of the DVR while educating them about the benefits of TiVo's innovative Interactive Advertising Platfrom. Tivo's ad solutions target the needs that direct response advertisers seek; the ability to relate to customers directly from the remote control.

Spearheading the new Group is industry veteran Robert Barnett who joins TiVo as a Senior Director, managing TiVo's relationship with Worldlink Ventures, Inc., a Direct Response advertising sales representative for TiVo's interactive advertising platform. Mr. Barnett reports directly to Karen Bressner, Senior Vice President of Advertising Sales at TiVo. The announcements came during the 17th Annual Electronic Retailing Conference currently underway in Las Vegas, NV through October 2.

"A major paradigm shift is underway in the television viewing habits of households with DVRs," said Ms. Bressner. "As viewers increasingly embrace TiVo to record, time-shift and fast-forward their favorite television programs and commercials, the amount of time spent channel surfing has significantly diminished, directly impacting viewership numbers for infomercials and other direct response advertisements." Ms. Bressner noted that, "according to TiVo Stop||Watch(TM) Service approximately a third of all DVR users are watching television on a time-shifted basis at any given moment. We believe that our Interactive Direct Response Ad Group presents valuable, timely solutions for the direct response market impacted by this growing trend."

Speaking about Mr. Barnett's appointment, Ms. Bressner said, "When introducing such a novel concept to the market, it is essential to have an executive leading the charge who not only knows the product but, more importantly, understands the client's business. I am confident that Robert's 25 years of experience as a successful developer, marketer and distributor of content for both the TV syndication and direct response markets will help drive the success of our Direct Response Ad Group."

Mr. Barnett commented, "I am thrilled to be a part of a team that is helping to usher in a new era of interactive advertising and at the same time helping direct response advertisers and media agencies to think 'inside the TiVo box' by educating them about the benefits of our unique DVR advertising platform designed for the way consumers watch and use TV today."

TiVo's Interactive Direct Response Advertising has already added a number of highly-regarded agencies and brands to its client roster, most recently launching a Direct Response campaign through Mercury Media, one of the largest DRTV media firms in the industry, as well as Carat and Basco.

Founded in 1997, TiVo pioneered a brand new category of products with the development of the first commercially available digital video recorder (DVR). Sold through leading consumer electronic retailers, TiVo has developed a brand which resonates boldly with consumers as providing a superior television experience. Through agreements with leading satellite and cable providers, TiVo also integrates its DVR service features into the set-top boxes of mass distributors. TiVo's DVR functionality and ease of use, with such features as Season Pass(TM) recordings, WishList(R) searches, and TiVo(R) KidZone, have elevated its popularity among consumers and have created a whole new way for viewers to watch television. With a continued investment in its patented technologies, TiVo is revolutionizing the way consumers watch and access home entertainment. Rapidly becoming the focal point of the digital living room, TiVo's DVR is at the center of experiencing new forms of content on the TV, such as broadband delivered video, music and photos. With innovative features, such as TiVoToGo(TM) transfers and online scheduling, TiVo is expanding the notion of consumers experiencing "TiVo, TV your way.(R)" The TiVo(R) service is also at the forefront of providing innovative marketing solutions for the television industry, including a unique platform for advertisers and audience measurement research. The company is based in Alviso, Calif.

Gaming Partners International Delivers Chip Order for Wynn Macau ExpansionAdditional VIP chip and plaque sets in production

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gaming Partners International Corporation ("GPI"), a leading provider of casino currency and table game equipment worldwide, announced that it has completed delivery of Bourgogne et Grasset(R) gaming chips with Magellan/PGIC 13.56MHz RFID for the recently completed expansion of Wynn Macau.

An additional order of VIP sets of chips and plaques for Wynn Macau is currently in production at the Company's facility in Beaune, France, scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Gerard Charlier, President and CEO of Gaming Partners International said, "GPI is proud to continue to serve the needs of Wynn Macau with this re-order, which supports their investment in our "S2" range of hard plastic-compound, high-quality, injection-molded chips outfitted with Magellan/PGIC 13.56 MHz RFID technology."

He added, "Casino expansions require operators to supplement existing chip and plaque inventories in order to support the increased number of active tables. Casinos traditionally do not commingle different brands of chips or plaques, and in the case of the Magellan/PGIC 13.56 RFID products, consistency in the production and security of each item is paramount. Once a casino has invested in GPI's casino currency, we are able to quickly meet reorder needs to help our clients maintain acceptable levels of inventory as their gaming floors grow."

Nokia to Acquire NAVTEQThe combined entity would create a leading global player in the fast growing location based services marketNAVTEQ to support existing customers as before

CHICAGO, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia and NAVTEQ today announced a definitive agreement for Nokia to acquire NAVTEQ. Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will pay $78 in cash for each share of NAVTEQ including outstanding options for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.1 billion (euro 5.7 billion), or approximately $7.7 billion (euro 5.4 billion) net of NAVTEQ existing cash balance. The acquisition has been approved by the board of directors of each company and is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals and NAVTEQ shareholders' approval.

The navigation area is a fast growing business, and with location-based services expanding rapidly into mobile communications devices, the industry is poised for even further growth. NAVTEQ brings a number of key assets to Nokia: a great team with best-in-world maps and navigation industry expertise, a strong customer base and an industry-leading map data and technology platform with the broadest geographical coverage.

NAVTEQ will continue to provide the most advanced and flexible map data platform to navigation industry players. With NAVTEQ, Nokia will further strengthen its location based services offering and bring to market the most innovative, context aware Nokia Internet services with accelerated time to market.

NAVTEQ is a leading provider of comprehensive digital map information for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, and government and business solutions. NAVTEQ also owns Traffic.com, a web and interactive service that provides traffic information and content to consumers. The Chicago-based company was founded in 1985, generated 2006 revenues of $582 million and has approximately 3,000 employees located in 168 offices in 30 countries.

Nokia is the world's largest mobile device manufacturer with more than 900 million people using a Nokia mobile device around the world. Driven by Internet and digital convergence, Nokia is expanding its offering to include areas such as entertainment, communities and location based services. Shipping with the GPS-enabled Nokia N95 multimedia computer, the Nokia Maps solution is one of the most advanced location based services in the marketplace today.

"Location based services are one of the cornerstones of Nokia's Internet services strategy. The acquisition of NAVTEQ is another step toward Nokia becoming a leading player in this space," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO, Nokia. "By joining forces with NAVTEQ, we will be able to bring context and geographical information to a number of our Internet services with accelerated time to market. We also look forward to maintaining and enhancing the services and support provided to NAVTEQ's existing and future customers".

"Nokia's unique vision for location based services aligns perfectly with NAVTEQ's vision to enable everyone to find their way to people, places and opportunities on mobile communications devices, cars, desktop computers and in all the other places that are important to them," said NAVTEQ President and CEO Judson Green. "It's really exciting to imagine what we can achieve by combining our location experience with the resources of a company that has a customer base of more than 900 million people."

In commenting on the transaction, Christopher Galvin, Chairman of the Board of NAVTEQ, said "Nokia's offer of $78 per share reflects a very attractive valuation for NAVTEQ's stockholders, representing a 34% premium to our stock price of one month ago. In considering the offer, we approached other potential purchasers about their possible interest in NAVTEQ and our Board took those contacts and discussions into account in determining that Nokia's proposal was the best opportunity available to maximize value for our stockholders."

After completion of the transaction, NAVTEQ's current map data business will continue operationally independent, but organizationally a Nokia Group company. Judson Green will report directly to Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. This will ensure that NAVTEQ's current and future customers continue to have a dedicated and strengthened unit serving them as before with digital map information for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, as well as government and business solutions.

The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008. Nokia plans to finance the acquisition with a combination of cash and debt, and has secured a commitment on the debt. Nokia anticipates that the acquisition would not impact its share buy-backs under the current mandate, or its future cash distribution strategy in terms of dividends and share buybacks which is subject to the shareholders' approval. The acquisition is expected to be dilutive to Nokia earnings in 2008 and 2009 on a reported basis. However on a cash basis Nokia expects it to be only slightly dilutive in 2008 and slightly accretive in 2009.

Notes to editors and analysts:

Nokia and NAVTEQ will host a conference call today, Monday, October 1, 2007 beginning at 16:00 in Helsinki / 14:00 in London / 08:00 in Chicago. The conference call will be available via live webcast at http://www.nokia.com/investor or by calling +1-888-636-1561 (North America) or +1-706- 634-5012 (international), with conference ID 19082045 For your convenience, a replay of the call will be accessible by calling +1- 800-642-1687 (Nokia America) or +1-706-645-9291 (international), with conference ID 19082045.

Nokia to Acquire NAVTEQThe Combined Entity Would Create a Leading Global Player in the Fast Growing Location Based Services MarketNAVTEQ to Support Existing Customers as Before

ESPOO, Finland, October 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia and NAVTEQ today announced a definitive agreement for Nokia to acquire NAVTEQ. Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will pay $78 in cash for each share of NAVTEQ including outstanding options for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $8.1 billion (EUR5.7 billion), or approximately $7.7 billion (EUR5.4 billion) net of NAVTEQ existing cash balance. The acquisition has been approved by the board of directors of each company and is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals and NAVTEQ shareholders' approval.

The navigation area is a fast growing business, and with location-based services expanding rapidly into mobile communications devices, the industry is poised for even further growth. NAVTEQ brings a number of key assets to Nokia: a great team with best-in-world maps and navigation industry expertise, a strong customer base and an industry-leading map data and technology platform with the broadest geographical coverage.

NAVTEQ will continue to provide the most advanced and flexible map data platform to navigation industry players. With NAVTEQ, Nokia will further strengthen its location based services offering and bring to market the most innovative, context aware Nokia Internet services with accelerated time to market.

NAVTEQ is a leading provider of comprehensive digital map information for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, and government and business solutions. NAVTEQ also owns Traffic.com, a web and interactive service that provides traffic information and content to consumers. The Chicago-based company was founded in 1985, generated 2006 revenues of $582 million and has approximately 3,000 employees located in 168 offices in 30 countries.

Nokia is the world's largest mobile device manufacturer with more than 900 million people using a Nokia mobile device around the world. Driven by Internet and digital convergence, Nokia is expanding its offering to include areas such as entertainment, communities and location based services. Shipping with the GPS-enabled Nokia N95 multimedia computer, the Nokia Maps solution is one of the most advanced location based services in the marketplace today.

"Location based services are one of the cornerstones of Nokia's Internet services strategy. The acquisition of NAVTEQ is another step toward Nokia becoming a leading player in this space," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO, Nokia. "By joining forces with NAVTEQ, we will be able to bring context and geographical information to a number of our Internet services with accelerated time to market. We also look forward to maintaining and enhancing the services and support provided to NAVTEQ's existing and future customers".

"Nokia's unique vision for location based services aligns perfectly with NAVTEQ's vision to enable everyone to find their way to people, places and opportunities on mobile communications devices, cars, desktop computers and in all the other places that are important to them," said NAVTEQ President and CEO Judson Green. "It's really exciting to imagine what we can achieve by combining our location experience with the resources of a company that has a customer base of more than 900 million people."

In commenting on the transaction, Christopher Galvin, Chairman of the Board of NAVTEQ, said "Nokia's offer of $78 per share reflects a very attractive valuation for NAVTEQ's stockholders, representing a 34% premium to our stock price of one month ago. In considering the offer, we approached other potential purchasers about their possible interest in NAVTEQ and our Board took those contacts and discussions into account in determining that Nokia's proposal was the best opportunity available to maximize value for our stockholders."

After completion of the transaction, NAVTEQ's current map data business will continue operationally independent, but organizationally a Nokia Group company. Judson Green will report directly to Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. This will ensure that NAVTEQ's current and future customers continue to have a dedicated and strengthened unit serving them as before with digital map information for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, as well as government and business solutions.

The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2008. Nokia plans to finance the acquisition with a combination of cash and debt, and has secured a commitment on the debt. Nokia anticipates that the acquisition would not impact its share buy-backs under the current mandate, or its future cash distribution strategy in terms of dividends and share buybacks which is subject to the shareholders' approval. The acquisition is expected to be dilutive to Nokia earnings in 2008 and 2009 on a reported basis. However on a cash basis Nokia expects it to be only slightly dilutive in 2008 and slightly accretive in 2009.

Notes to editors and analysts:

Nokia and NAVTEQ will host a conference call today, Monday, October 1, 2007 beginning at 16:00 in Helsinki / 14:00 in London / 08:00 in Chicago. The conference call will be available via live webcast at http://www.nokia.com/investor or by calling +1-888-636-1561 (North America) or +1-706-634-5012 (international), with conference ID 19082045
